What We Believe

STATEMENTS OF FAITH

I believe there is only one God, who exists for all eternity in three persons: the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit.
(Deuteronomy 6:4, Revelation 1:8)

I believe that God has revealed Himself to us both through His creation and His Word.
(Romans 1:20, Hebrews 1:3)

I believe God continues to reveal Himself to His people through the indwelling of the Holy Spirit.
(Romans 8:9, John 16:13-14, 1 Corinthians 2:12-14, 2 Corinthians 6:16)

I believe that there is only one way to God, through His Son, Jesus Christ.
(Isaiah 43:10-13, John 14:6)

I believe that God made forgiveness and redemption available to all who accept Jesus Christ as their personal Lord and Savior.
(1Timothy 2:3-4, John 3:16-18, 1 Corinthians 15:3-5)

I believe the Bible is absolute truth. It is the divinely authored and authoritative Word of God. It is complete in its current canonical form.
 (2 Timothy 3:16-17, 2 Peter 1:20-21, Luke 24:27)

I believe that those who are His will be made known by their love for God and for all people.
(Mark 12:30, John 13:34-35)

WHO IS JESUS?

I believe that Jesus is the one and only Son of God (John 3:16). He was present with God at the beginning of time and through Him all things were made (John 1:1, Colossians 1:17). In the incarnation, He was fully God and fully man (Colossians 2:9). Through His perfect life and sacrifice on the cross, we may receive forgiveness of our sins and justification before God (1 John 2:2, Romans 3:23-26, 2 Corinthians 5:21). He is the fullness of truth and the only way to God (John 14:6). Jesus is the head of the body of believers, known as the church (Colossians 1:18). He pursues us with intention (Luke 19:10). He is both our role model (1 John 2:6, 1 John 3:16, John 15:12) and worthy of our worship and adoration (Revelation 5:12).

STATEMENTS OF PRACTICE

Yoga is a spiritual discipline much like fasting, meditation, and prayer that cannot be owned by one specific religion. While yoga predates Hinduism, Hindus were the first to give yoga a written structure. Yoga postures were originally named in Sanskrit. I teach in English to avoid any confusion.

We embrace the essential elements of yoga: breath work, meditation and physical postures. In all of these elements, Christ is the focus of our intention and worship.
